Bumi the Bee

Meet Bumi the Bee — a soft, jumbo bee with a tiny buzz and a huge mission.

Carefully crocheted by hand, Bumi is inspired by real-world bees—gentle pollinators essential to life on Earth, yet increasingly threatened by climate change, pesticides, and habitat loss. Every stitch is a celebration of their importance and a call to protect the creatures that keep our ecosystems thriving.

 Why Bees Matter:

Bees help pollinate 1 in every 3 bites of food we eat. From fruits and veggies to nuts and flowers, they keep ecosystems thriving. Without bees, countless plants (and the animals that depend on them) would struggle to survive. Bees support biodiversity, food security, and even climate resilience — all while weighing less than a paperclip 

 What’s Harming Them:

• Pesticides and chemical sprays

• Loss of wildflower habitats

• Climate change

• Diseases and parasites

• Monoculture farming that limits food sources

 How You Can Help:

• Plant bee-friendly flowers (like lavender, sunflowers, or clover)

• Avoid using harmful pesticides

• Support local, sustainable farming

• Leave some wild, weedy patches in your garden

• Buy local honey and bee products from ethical beekeepers

• Educate others (like you’re doing right now!)

“Bumi” means Earth in Malay, and true to her name, she’s a soft symbol of balance, beauty, and the small things that hold our world together—an enduring reminder you can bring home to spark awareness, comfort, and joy.
